European Travel Style with Sarah from Fairy Tales are True

Today we are kicking of a series of guest bloggers who will will talking about travel and style.  One of my favorite girls ever, is Sarah from Fairy Tales are True.  Aghh...she's just so stinkin' pretty and sweet, and well her style is swoon worthy!  I tried to take a few notes from her, however, she makes it look so effortless.  Take us away Sarah!

Right now Katie is away in Paris looking flawless, eating macaroons, and giving every man whiplash in Europe ...  I predict a skyrocket in chiropractor visits in every city she visits.


I'm Sarah Tucker from Fairytales are True and I'm excited to fill in today to share my European travel style.  I'm a pretty relaxed gal, I travel light (never check bag kinda light), and generally try to work with pieces that I can get a couple uses out of without looking repetitive.  I've been known to use a scarf as a cover up, a long skirt as a dress, and to bring along just two pairs of shoes.


Here's how I mixed it up a bit last summer:  


Easy style in Russia.  Swagg, pixie pants, simple tee, and my glasses (a girls gotta see!)
White dresses and Bold Jewelry - in Croatia
Cat eye glasses are a must! (in Dubrovnik)
My kinda cover up in Hvar, Croatia


Easy Breezey in Montenegro


{chambray shirt, j.crew pixie pants, leopard flats} in Russia
Liz Denfeld and I on top of the Sacre Coure in Paris.  
Both of these lady like tops scream Paris to me (:  
Don't mind the hair ... it was air drying on the way to a friends!
Striped dress with leggings so I can ride my bike without exposing.  (:

A chilly day in May in Colmar, France
Looking like an American in San Gimignano. 

A warm day in Florence - a hat is needed.

So there you have it, my euro summer wardrobe of 2011.  
My best advice is to pick out pieces that are versatile, separates that go well with a couple different options, and to relax - you're in europe!  Have the time of your life!

I will be in Europe this summer and will surely look no where near as cute. If I thought I could squeeze into her tiny clothes, I'd have to go ransack Sarah's closet ASAP.

Best style and girl out there! Love that Sadie!

I am honeymooning in Paris and I will try to only take a carry-on as well. I agree with the 'two pairs of shoes maximum' rule, it saves so much luggage space. Thanks for putting these photos together, Sarah!
